The Brunswick River (/ˈbrʌnzwɪk/) is a river in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia, running through Mullumbimby and Brunswick Heads.
The north arm (Marshalls Creek) runs through Ocean Shores, Billinudgel, Ocean Shores North and The Pocket. Marshalls Creek also connects to a canal in Ocean Shores North and South Golden Beach. The south arm (Simpsons Creek) runs through Brunswick Heads, Bayside and Tyagarah.
There is a lake at Tyagrah where the local Ti trees give the lake water a brown tint. This lake becomes a popular swimming hole in the summer months and is used by naturists who come down from Tyagrah Beach. The naturist area is only about 15 km before you get to Byron Bay.
Famous quotes containing the words river and/or south:
“A reaction: a boat which is going against the current but which does not prevent the river from flowing on.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“If you are one of the hewers of wood and drawers of small weekly paychecks, your letters will have to contain some few items of news or they will be accounted dry stuff.... But if you happen to be of a literary turn of mind, or are, in any way, likely to become famous, you may settle down to an afternoon of letter-writing on nothing more sprightly in the way of news than the shifting of the wind from south to south-east.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
